The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development contains an ambitious Goal on education (SDG 4) and one of its targets, SDG Target 4.7, is to ensure that learners acquire sufficient knowledge and skills for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship. What are the challenges to monitor the progress towards Target 4.7 at a global, regional and country levels, in today’s diverse and quickly changing world? What can be learned from existing monitoring processes and what are their limitations?
